KD2004-CF20A Printheads Compact medium speed thick film thermal printhead (8dots / mm) KD2004-CF20A KD2004-CF20A is suitable for devices, such as high-speed POS and label printer applications, that require thermal printheads capable of higher printing rates. Improved power circuit design means that with heavier current it is possible to print at speeds as high as 150 mm/s. The GK Series is the thus ideal for label printers that need high printing rates. zApplications POS terminals, Label printers, CAT terminals, Multi-purpose small-sized printers zFeatures 1) Using a special compact partial glaze and new heating element structure, achieves high-speed printing at 150 mm/s. 2) The use of the highly-durable conductive protective film has improved countermeasures against static electricity. 3) The VH and GND sections of the power circuitry have been strengthened so that heavier current can be applied. 4) One rank resistance value of 800Ω ± 3% eliminates the inconvenience of rank selection. 5) The required driving voltage of 3.15 to 5.25V allows wide range of power supply voltage setting. This also allows multiple choice of electronic components for printers. 118 Max.1.7 108 (Effective print width) 5.1±0.4 Dot #864 110±0.2 4±0.2 Dot #1 4±0.2 5.1±0.2 (5) M ax .φ 20 .0 Max.20 10.2 2.6±0.1 zDimensions (Unit : mm) 2-M3 (Effective depth 3) No.15 No.1 Connector B No.15 No.1 Connector A 1/4 KD2004-CF20A Printheads zEquivalent circuit VH GND DOT #864 #864 #721 DOT #1 #720 #577 #576 #433 #432 #289 #288 #145 #144 #1 VH GND VDD STB6 STB1 STB5 STB2 STB4 STB3 LATCH REGISTER DI LAT DO SHIFT REGISTER CLK TM THERMISTOR 30kΩ B : 3950K TM CONNECTOR B CONNECTOR A Fig. 1 zPin assignments CONNECTOR A CONNECTOR B No. Circuit No. Circuit 1 VH 1 GND 2 VH 2 GND 3 VH 3 GND 4 VH 4 GND 5 DO 5 GND 6 LAT 6 TM 7 CLK 7 TM 8 VDD 8 STB4 9 STB1 9 STB5 10 STB2 10 STB6 11 STB3 11 DI 12 GND 12 VH 13 GND 13 VH 14 GND 14 VH 15 GND 15 VH 2/4 KD2004-CF20A Printheads zTiming chart tw CLK CLK (CLOCK) t setup DI t hold DI DI (DATA IN) "High" : BLACK "Low" : WHITE td DO DO (DATA OUT) "High" : BLACK "Low" : WHITE Min.15 µ sec(VDD=5V)* Min.30 µ sec(VDD=3.3V)* t setup LAT t hold LAT LAT (LATCH) "High" : HOLD "Low" : THROUGH tw LAT t setup STB STB (STROBE) t do t do DRIVER OUT Fig.2 zCharacteristics Symbol Typical Unit Effective printing width − 108 mm Dot pitch − 0.125 mm Total dot number − 864 dots Rave 800 Ω VH 24.0 V Parameter Average resistance value Applied voltage Applied power PO 0.59 W/dot Print cycle SLT 0.83 ms Pulse width TON 0.32 ms Maximum number of dots energized simultaneously − 432 dots Maximum clock frequency − 16 MHz Maximum roller diameter − φ20.0 mm Running life / pulse life − 50/5×107 km/pulses Operating temperature − 5 to 45 °C 3/4 KD2004-CF20A Printheads zElectrical characteristic curves 1.8 0.8 Paper : KF50-HDA (OJI) 0.7 0.7 1.4 0.5 0.4 0.3 0.6 ENERGY (mJ/dot) OPTICAL DENSITY 0.6 ENERGY (mJ/dot) 0.8 SLT : 1.00ms/line 1.6 1.2 1.0 0.8 0.6 0.5 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.4 0.2 0.1 0.2 0.1 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 SCANNING LINE TIME (ms/line) 0.0 0.00 0.05 0.10 0.15 0.20 0.25 0.30 ENERGY (mJ/dot) Fig.3 Adaptive speed chart Fig.4 Representative density curve 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 SCANNING LINE TIME (ms/line) Fig.5 Maximum energy curve 180 160 RESISTANCE : (kΩ) 140 120 100 80 60 40 20 0 −20 −10 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 TEMPERATURE : (°C) Fig.6 Thermistor curve 4/4 Appendix Notes No technical content pages of this document may be reproduced in any form or transmitted by any means without prior permission of ROHM CO.,LTD.
